Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0

This book just made my week! I have been in a reading slump, the kind of slump that makes you question whether you are too hard on everything you read. Lately I have gotten annoyed with the books I was reading too easily. So I was kind of nervous when I picked up Cursed because I was soo excited to read it. Well, fear not!! I absolutely loved Cursed! This is such a great book, fans of x-men will really enjoy it.

I felt like I was right there along for the ride with Em. Em is adorable, smart, savvy, and strong. She questioned everything, which I really appreciate in paranormal books. She even made me kind of paranoid throughout the story. I wasn't sure who to trust either. Em is a great character. Her would be love interest is Hayden. He is very much the strong and silent type. At times he was so cryptic that he started to frustrate me. But he redeemed himself more than a few times.

The storyline of Cursed will have you engaged the entire time. I could not put this book down. I devoured this book in one sitting. I loved that I was kept guessing until the very end of the book. Fans of super powers need to pick up cursed, and learn all about the "gifted". The ending was really satisfying too. There are still questions for the next book to explore, but it ended in a great, non-cliffhanger way. Get yourself a copy of Cursed, you won't regret it!
